Peter attended high school at Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, NJ. Throughout his childhood and high school years, Peter was an avid ice
hockey player and wrestler, as a member of the Brick Hockey League and the Christian Brothers Academy hockey and wrestling teams. He then

Peter was a kind, patient soul who was well-respected and loved by all who knew him. With his friendly smile and warm demeanor, he was easy to talk to and made everyone feel welcome in his presence. Peter was a supportive friend and family member, taking seriously his role as a loving son and brother, and a devoted uncle.

Pete, it has been years. We grew up together and it was some of the best times. You and your brother, Pat, were great friends. We lost touch when we moved. We saw you both at the Red Lion years later. I loved your Dad too. He was great guy! My condolences to Patrick, his family and friends. May he Rest in Peace!

I think of childhood memories, the times spent with Pete, and the family. Brick would not be Brick without the Red Lion or the Bottazzi's. Rest in Peace, Pete.

My heartfelt condolences to Patrick, Paris and the Family. The news of Peter's passing really hit home, and for days I have been reflecting on the time we spent together. From Spring break, to concerts, to 1983 NJ State Champs in ice hockey, and working for his family at The Red Lion. These moments shape our lives and I am honored that Peter played such a significant role in mine. Rest in Peace, dear friend.

I was very saddened to hear about Peter's passing. I taught Peter at CBA and was his freshman wrestling coach. He was a good student and hardworking wrestler. I visited and talked with him after graduation at his restaurant, and we reminisced about our CBA days. Rest in peace, Peter!
